Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (rest) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's play-in game against the Orlando Magic. When Atlanta concluded its regular-season schedule on Sunday against the Magic, Okongwu was kept off the floor for rest purposes. However, his name has not been included on the injury report for Tuesday's game. Okongwu enjoyed a big finish to the regular season and will have a massive role to play again on Tuesday, with Clint Capela (hand) remaining on the sidelines. Over three prior meetings with the Magic this season, Okongwu has averaged 16.7 points and 9.3 rebounds.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (face) is questionable for Thursday's contest against Phoenix. He has sustained a facial contusion and may have to exit the lineup just five games after returning from a knee injury. Clint Capela will need to be a bit extra if Okongwu misses time, with Dominick Barlow getting a chance to operate as the backup center. Thursday's matchup should be productive for Atlanta's centers, as only 10 teams give up more fantasy points to opposing fives than the Suns.

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He'll now miss his fifth consecutive contest because of left knee inflammation, so it's anyone's guess when he will be healthy enough to return. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) and Dyson Daniels (illness) also sidelined, the Hawks will need to go deeper into the bench, meaning De'Andre Hunter, who scored 25 points on Thursday versus the Bulls, and Larry Nance Jr. could continue to benefit from a production standpoint.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will remain out of the lineup on Thursday against Chicago. The talented big man has battled inflammation in his left knee lately and will miss a fourth consecutive game. Larry Nance Jr. has entered the rotation in Okongwu's absence, posting impressive numbers. Working as Clint Capela's backup, Nance Jr. has averaged 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.3 blocks across the past three games. The Hawks big men should get plenty of work done on Thursday against a team that gives up the seventh-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will miss at least four games due to left knee inflammation. He will be re-evaluated in a week. The 24-year-old is currently having the best season of his career, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds. But while he's sidelined, Larry Nance Jr. could see some minutes at the five spot. However, Nance has some work to do to gain the trust of fantasy managers, although he's worth considering for rosters if he can make good use of his time on the court.

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has been added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Hawks might decide to give Okongwu a rest night on Sunday. He has been quiet since his 28-point outing during the season opener. Since then, Okongwu is averaging 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks over his last four games. Larry Nance Jr. and Dominick Barlow figure to see extended playing time if Okongwu is unable to play on Sunday or Monday.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) played in the first half of the team's back-to-back, but will not suit up for the second half on Monday. The big man is listed as out with toe injury management after he played 23 minutes on Sunday and registered 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. We've entered another season waiting for him to become the starter, but Clint Capela remains in the starting five and should see extra minutes on Monday. Larry Nance Jr. will likely see more minutes off of the bench too.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) didn't feature in the team's preseason opener against Indiana on Tuesday. The energetic big man underwent a toe procedure in April and appears to be still recovering from it. The Hawks have their next preseason outing scheduled for Monday. Clint Capela will likely be set for a big workload at the start of the regular season if Okongwu isn't ready to play. The team has also added Larry Nance Jr. and Dominick Barlow to the frontcourt this offseason.

The Atlanta Hawks say forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) has a Grade 2 lateral right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, while center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has undergone a non-surgical procedure to address ongoing inflammation in his left big toe and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Unless the Hawks go on an unlikely deep playoff run, the timetables effectively rule out the two players for the remainder of the season. Their absences leave significant voids in Atlanta's frontcourt going forward, with Clint Capela having to dominate minutes down low and Bruno Fernando playing the backup center role in Okongwu's stead. Over 18 games without Johnson this season, De'Andre Hunter is putting up 16.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers per contest and has hit double digits in scoring during each outing.

The Atlanta Hawks announced on Monday that center Onyeka Okongwu (toe), following a period of unloading, has resumed individual basketball activities and will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days. The timetable effectively rules out Okongwu for the remainder of most managers' fantasy seasons, meaning the 23-year-old big man can be dropped across virtually all formats. For leagues that still run through Week 24, Okongwu's earliest possible return date from his sprained left big toe would be April 9 against the Miami Heat. In his stead, Bruno Fernando has assumed backup center duties but hasn't done enough to warrant rostership during the fantasy postseason. Clint Capela, on the other hand, has reached double scoring figures in 12 straight games and submitted 10 double-doubles over this stretch. He'll be an excellent source of blocks, boards, and field-goal percentage the rest of the way.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will be out of the lineup for a sixth consecutive game on Monday versus the Bulls. The talented big man has been limited to just two appearances since Feb. 12 due to a toe injury. Bruno Fernando will continue to roll as Clint Capela's backup. Centers typically get an even workload in Atlanta, and the pair will have a decent matchup on Monday. Chicago's defensive numbers are mediocre across the board, including against opposing bigs. Centers average 22.1 points and 14.6 rebounds per 48 minutes against them, shooting 56.7 percent from the floor.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) won't play on Saturday versus the Bucks. He's been battling a toe sprain and recently missed a month. Although the 23-year-old returned for a few games, he'll now be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest. Jalen Johnson (ankle) has a chance to return against Milwaukee, which could help lessen the blow. At the same time, Bruno Fernando, coming off a 6-point, four-rebound effort, has value for DFS managers who don't mind taking a chance.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics. Sidelined for a fourth straight game with a sprained left big toe, the 23-year-old paint presence looks to return in Saturday's matchup versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Starting center Clint Capela has posted three consecutive double-doubles in Okongwu's absence, while backup big man Bruno Fernando has received more run from Atlanta's second unit. Fernando is averaging 15.0 points on 76.0% shooting from the field, 6.0 boards, and 2.0 combined steals plus blocks in 21.9 minutes over his last three outings for the 33-39 Hawks, but he'll take on a Celtics team allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points to opposing centers.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has already been ruled out for their game against the Boston Celtics on Monday. Okongwu wasn't able to play in their last game either which ended up being a 41-point blowout against the Charlotte Hornets. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has watched from the sidelines more often than he's played over the last month or so. While he's out, Clint Capela should remain in the starting five while Bruno Fernando plays cleanup duty coming off of the bench. Both big men have been solid streaming options for rebounds, efficiency, and blocks.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will sit out Saturday's game against Charlotte. The team listed Okongwu as doubtful on the initial injury report, so he was always likely to miss the game. With Okongwu sidelined, Bruno Fernando is set to fill the minutes behind starting center Clint Capela. It's a wonderful matchup for Atlanta's big men, as Charlotte gives up the third-most points in the league to centers, and only Washington has allowed more rebounds to the position.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is unlikely to suit up against the Hornets. He recently sat out a month because of a big toe injury. However, Okongwu has appeared in Atlanta's previous two games and logged nearly 20 minutes per contest. Yet, the 23-year-old is expected to get the night off to take a breather before potentially returning on Monday night versus Boston. The Hawks' injury report is loaded, so Bruno Fernando and De'Andre Hunter could be productive enough to make a difference for DFS participants.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will play on Monday against the Lakers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a big toe issue. However, the Hawks are glad to get him back, considering the team is holding on to the final Play-In spot in the Eastern Conference. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old had averaged a career-high 10.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. While there's a chance Okongwu could see limited action in his first game back after a lengthy layoff, his presence means Bruno Fernando will have trouble getting minutes.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has ditched the walking boot and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. He will miss a ninth consecutive game on Friday versus the Grizzlies, but it looks like Okongwu could be good to go this time next week. Bruno Fernando has stepped into Okongwu's role as the backup center and will have fantasy value for at least three more games. The big man from Angola recorded his second game of the season with double-digit rebounds on Wednesday versus Cleveland and has racked up six blocks over the last three games. His defense will certainly be needed again in Friday's touch matchup against Jaren Jackson Jr.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is now in a walking boot. The 2020 No. 6 overall pick has missed the last two games because of a sprained left toe. He'll be re-evaluated in the next two weeks to see where he's at in the recovery process. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor anytime in the near future. It's a tough blow for Okongwu, who has averaged a career-high 10.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks this season. But until he returns to the lineup, Clint Capela should continue to hold things down underneath the basket. Additionally, De'Andre Hunter, amassing 21.5 points per game without Okongwu active during the 2023-24 campaign, may continue to see an uptick in fantasy production.

Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said on Thursday that center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, ruling him out for Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors. A sprained left big toe will keep Okongwu on the shelf on Friday, and the 23-year-old rim protector should be deemed out indefinitely. Reinforcements down low are on the way for the Hawks, however, as Clint Capela (adductor) will be active against the Raptors.
